Hi guys, chloe says people are getting into her computor via the shared wi-fi in her flat, I assume its because sharing hasn't been turn off, how does she do that, and is their anything else she needs to do.

Olley, just a thought....has the wifi network been secured so just the flatmates have access?? Perhaps the original setup was done with default password and no WEP / WPA password set up. Is it just her flatmates accessing the Mac or unidentified / other people?

Certainly won't hurt to check the file sharing as per my prev post, and it should prevent others accessing her Mac, but it may be worth checking with her if the network is really secure and who actually set it up / who has the WEP/WPA password with which it can be accessed?

Ah, so that should solve the access problem for her. She's prob better off without a shared wifi connection to be honest - not sure I would want to share wifi with a bunch of students unless I was the administrator and the one to allow access!!!
